Yarn along

Joining Ginny at Small Things for another round of Yarn along.

I just finished knitting this little gnome, inspired by lasts weeks yarn along in fact. I found the simple pattern on Plain and joyful living, it took about an hour to complete, and is so sweet.
Still haven't gotten into a book just for me, but thought I would share my love of these simple little animal stories by Thornton W Burgees, that we are reading every night. The children absolutely adore these sweet little animal stories, with their gentle lessons about nature, life lessons and the personality of each animal. The only thing that bothers me a bit about these, is the pictures which has the animals dressed and on two legs, however the pictures are few and I still highly recommend them...

Yarn Along

Inspired by Ginny over on Small Things, I am joining in a little yarn along;

sharing what I have on my knitting needles presently, and also what book I am reading.

Now I must admit that while I love reading, these day most of my reading has to do with preparations for the lessons I do with Kaleena, we are stopping lessons now for christmas break, and perhaps that will give me time to pick up on some personal reading. One book that I have been leafing through, which I saw over on The parenting passageway, is;  Hold on To your Kids, and though I have not really gotten into it, I have enjoyed the bits that I have read so far, and very much see the importance of what it speaks about.

On my knitting needles right now, is the sleeve of a sweater I am making for the doll I will give Keenan for Christmas. 

Do hop over to Small Things, and see what other mama's are working on and reading, and also do share what you are creating these days.
